U.S., Feb. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06820138) titled 'Focused Ultrasound for PTSD in Veterans' on Jan. 27.
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to develop a new, non-invasive brain stimulation modality called low intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) as a psychiatric rehabilitation treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). FUS delivers energy comparable to that involved in diagnostic ultrasound but in a millimeter-sized envelope. Unlike currently available methods, the maximal FUS energy is delivered at a distance from a transducer on the scalp. Therefore, its promise is that it can deliver focal and reversible modulation to deeper brain regions involved in PTSD. The investi...
